{{ | '''''Super Mario 3D World''''' is a 3D [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] action game for the [[Wii U]], released in Japan on November 21, 2013, in North America on November 22, 2013, in Brazil on November 26, 2013, in Europe on November 29, 2013, and in Australia on November 30, 2013. It is the seventeenth entry in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series,<ref name=encyclopedia>Kazuya Sakai (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara ({{wp|Shogakukan}}) (ed.). ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]'' Milwaulkie: [[Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse Books]], 2018. ISBN: 978-4-09-106569-8</ref> the seventh 3D ''Super Mario'' title overall, and the fifth 3D ''Super Mario'' title on a home console after ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Being the sequel to the 2011 [[Nintendo 3DS]] title ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the game builds upon the previous installment, following a similar 3D level-design convention inspired from the 2D platformer titles where players must navigate through a linear-designed level within a time limit to reach a level's [[Goal Pole]]. The game's plot centers around [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]] having to rescue the [[Sprixie Princesses]], the rulers of the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], from [[Bowser]]. | ||
One key aspect introduced in this title is the simultaneous multiplayer: while not the first game in the series to do so, it is the first 3D title in the ''Super Mario'' franchise to incorporate up to four players cooperating with each other to reach the goal. Players can select their character from a pool of playable characters prior to starting the game; each of these characters have their own unique playstyle that gives them advantages and disadvantages over other characters. The game makes use of several Wii U exclusive features, such as tapping blocks with the touch screen on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|GamePad]] and blowing into the mic to reveal hidden items and blow away enemies. Various new power-ups are introduced in this title, with the trademark suit being the [[Cat Mario|Cat power-up]], which enables characters to perform a melee attack, climb up walls, and leap while midair, as well as the game generally having a cat-based theme. | |||
It included [[Miiverse]] integration through collectible [[stamp]]s that could be used in Miiverse posts, and the [[Mii|Ghost Mii]] functionality that emulates players replaying levels for other players to view; however, the service was terminated on November 7, 2017, meaning that stamps can be collected, but can no longer be used. Additionally, the Miiverse posts that appeared on the course select screen and when selecting courses are no longer present. | |||
The game introduces a smaller set of levels called [[Captain Toad's Adventures]], which were later reused and expanded into its own standalone title and prequel, ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. | |||
An enhanced [[Reissue#Ports|port]] called ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]] was released on February 12, 2021. | |||

Mario and Luigi fix the Clear Pipe with hammers and wrenches, causing the pipe to eject a large number of items as well as a [[Sprixie Princesses|Sprixie Princess]], a fairy-like creature of the [[Sprixie]] species. The Green Sprixie Princess begins to explain that [[Bowser]] has kidnapped six of her fellow Sprixie Princesses and that she needs their help; however, Bowser himself emerges from the pipe and traps the princess inside a bottle before disappearing back down the pipe with her. Peach, in trying to stop Bowser, falls down the pipe herself, and the others soon follow in order to assist her. The heroes soon end up in the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], where the journey mainly takes place. | ||
After going through six worlds, the group encounter Bowser in [[World Castle]], where he is keeping the Red Sprixie Princess; the only Sprixie Princess whom has not been saved yet. After the group successfully defeats Bowser, the Sprixie Princess is saved. The celebration is cut short, however, when Bowser ambushes them and grabs all seven Sprixie Princesses in a large bottle. With their combined power, he creates [[World Bowser]]: a theme park modeled after himself, and escapes to a [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land|tower]]. | |||
The heroes make their way through this world and encounter Bowser again in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]]. Here, Bowser uses a [[Super Bell]] to transform to [[Meowser]] and makes [[Double Mario|duplicates of himself]], initiating the final battle. The group manages to defeat Meowser after climbing the tower and rescue all of the Sprixie Princesses. Now safe from Bowser, the princesses thank the heroes as they go through a Clear Pipe back to the Mushroom Kingdom. | |||

The | ''Super Mario 3D World'' is a linear 3D [[Genre#Platformer|platform game]] with gameplay similar to the 2D games. The player must navigate through levels, defeating enemies and collecting power-ups on the way. The player clears a level by reaching the [[Goal Pole]] at the end before losing a life or running out of time. The player can store collected power-ups in the item storage, allowing them to be collected by pressing {{button|wiiu|minus}}. The player can also collect [[Green Star]]s and [[stamp]]s, which allow the player to unlock certain levels or can be used in Miiverse posts, respectively. Points are earned by collecting items and defeating enemies, and are used to determine the player's high score in a level. The player completes the main game when they clear [[World Bowser]] and completes the entire game when all bonus worlds are complete and all Green Stars and stamps are collected. | ||
===Multiplayer=== | |||
[[File:SM3DW 4P Rankings.png|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Players' score results at the end of a stage. This is shown when there are at least two active players after a course has been cleared.]] | |||
For the first time in a 3D ''Super Mario'' title, the game supports up to four-player simultaneous multiplayer, allowing players to control Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, and Rosalina; additional players can drop in at any time by pressing {{button|wiiu|A}}/{{button|wii|2}}, and can drop out by pausing and pressing {{button|wii|-}} on the pause menu, similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''; in this game, however, players can also switch characters before entering a stage. Each character has different abilities, much like they had in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The multiplayer works similarly to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', in that players can enter a bubble at any time, pick each other up and throw each other, bounce on each others' heads, and so on. Players also share lives when playing in multiplayer, rather than each player having a separate life counter. The game uses a cooperative and competitive multiplayer system; each player works together to get to the end of the stage, but is ranked based on points earned out of the total score at the end. The player that scores the most points for one stage receives a crown, which can be stolen by the other players and gives the player wearing it at the end of the stage a score bonus. | |||
In addition to being the default player one controller, the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} can be used at any point during gameplay (multiplayer or not) to interact with the environment, allowing players to stun enemies, momentarily reveal hidden objects (both in levels and on the map), hit blocks, stop moving platforms, and various other functions, similar to the [[Co-Star Luma]] from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' and [[Boost Mode]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. If the player rubs an enemy with the touch screen, a coin is spawned. The {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} can also be used to control the camera during gameplay by pressing the button on the bottom corner of the GamePad screen and tilting the controller, in what is known as Free Camera Mode. It works in a similar fashion to the camera from ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The GamePad can also be used for Off-TV Play at any point. | |||
===Nintendo Network=== | |||
''Super Mario 3D World'' features Nintendo Network support in the form of Miiverse integration and [[Mii|Ghost Mii]]s. These features are first enabled on a given save file after progressing a bit into the game. With Miiverse, players could make a post at any point on the World Map or after completing a stage by tapping the "Post" icon; other players' posts could also be viewed on the World Map by walking up to their Miis and pressing {{button|wiiu|A}}/{{button|wii|2}}, or on the top of the stage results screen. Ghost Miis are created after the player clears a course without losing a life, and they perfectly recreate the player's movements throughout the course, automatically distributing them to other players. Players who receive the data can play through an already cleared course with three Ghost Mii characters. While traveling through a course, the Ghost Mii characters occasionally carry gifts behind them that when caught can contain various items. The Nintendo Network settings for this title can be changed at any point by pausing the game and selecting the Nintendo Network icon button. | |||
===Returning elements=== | |||
''Super Mario 3D World'' plays very similarly to ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', being a 3D platformer with gameplay similar to the 2D games. This game retains its predecessor's similarity to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' (with colorful blocks, the [[Super Leaf]], [[Spike]]s, and the Lose a Life theme returning from that game); many elements from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' return as well, such as [[Chargin' Chuck]]s, [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]]s, and [[Galoomba]]s (the Goombas of that game renamed). Stages are once again open yet linear, have a time limit, and end by grabbing the classic [[Goal Pole]] at the end. [[Green Star]]s return from the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, taking the role of the [[Star Medal]]s from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. There are also various [[stamp]]s that the player can find. There is one in each level and they can be used in [[Miiverse]] posts. The game also seems to be slightly more puzzle-focused than its predecessors. The path from the start of the level to the goal is no longer a straight shot, and the players would often have to use certain power-ups and items in order to find the way ahead. Additionally, the game also features a [[point|score system]], the first time one has appeared in a 3D ''Super Mario'' game. | |||
[[File: | [[File:SpikesLostCity.png|thumb|upright=1.4|Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad in their Cat suits, confronting [[Spike]]s.]] | ||
Almost every power-up and item from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' returns (except the [[Statue Leaf]] and [[P-Wing]]). The [[Mega Mushroom]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' also makes an appearance. There are also several new power-ups and suits; The most prominent of the new power-ups is the [[Super Bell]], a power-up that grants the player a [[Cat Mario|Cat Suit]], allowing them to lunge at and claw enemies and climb up walls. | |||

{{Main|Luigi Bros.}} | |||
{{ | [[File:SM3DW Luigi Bros Title Screen.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|The title screen to ''[[Luigi Bros.]]'', a remastered port of ''Mario Bros.'']] | ||
As part of the [[Year of Luigi]] celebration, also included is another game that can be accessed from the title screen after beating the main game once (or immediately if ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' save data is present). The game, titled ''Luigi Bros.'', is a modified ROM of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', but with Luigi with his modern colors as the first player and the original Luigi as the second player. The game can be accessed by touching the Luigi button found in the bottom-left corner of the screen. As it is a modification of the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game, it makes use of the Virtual Console interface and allows the use of save/restore points. Also, similar to ''New Super Luigi U'', [[8-bit character|Pixel Luigis]] can be found throughout the game. | |||

The game features a large world map, consisting of eight worlds with four unlockable bonus worlds, with a total of 116 courses (including [[Sprixie House]]s) across all worlds. Each world is connected by [[Clear Pipe]]s. Unlike previous games, where players follow a fixed path through the maps, the map here can be freely roamed with full control of the characters, except with a limited jump. Each world features a set of levels along with [[Enemy Battles]], [[Toad House]]s, [[Sprixie House]]s, [[Lucky House]]s, and either [[Mystery House]]s or a puzzle-focused series of levels called [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] with [[Captain Toad]] playable. The maps also contain items such as coins and 1-Up Mushrooms and other secrets. | |||

Upon reaching World Crown, the player can also see which stage has been cleared with which characters on the Map Progression screen or when approaching a stage. When all the stages in a world have been cleared with every character, a paw print mark is shown on the upper-right corner of the Map Progression screen. | ||

According to game director [[Kenta Motokura]], the game went through numerous concepts suggested by over one hundred staff members via sticky notes that were extensively playtested, such as the [[Mystery House]]s and [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]] levels. The [[Cat Mario|Cat form]] was one of the earliest ideas that passed development, with the intention of creating a method of directly attacking enemies and assisting novice players in clearing obstacles. The [[Double Cherry]], on the other hand, was conceived entirely by accident when a staff member inadvertently loaded two identical character models into a test level, which was well-received by the developers and thus hurriedly added into the final game.<ref name="double"/> | |||

|9.6/10 | |||
|align="left|"''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]] successfully iterated on one of the most inventive platformers of the last console generation. Super Mario 3D World takes slightly smaller steps in the grand scheme of the platformer genre, but it fulfills the promise of a multiplayer Mario much better than anything that the Japanese game maker has done before. Super Mario 3D World is marvelous, and its constant variety and fantastic light-hearted co-op play proves that Nintendo still knows exactly how to tweak the Mario formula in fun ways.''" | |||

|align="left|"''Super Mario 3D World is a game of exceptional craft, of painstaking focus on the minute details that are integral to making it feel special. The pace at which you're thrown from one ingenious concept to the next as perspectives, tempos, and mechanics change would choke a lesser game, but here it's done with a seamlessness that makes such rapid inventiveness look easy. This is a game where every level is a golden nugget of heavenly platforming joy, where ideas are rarely repeated--and if they are, they're given such a twist as to make them feel new again.''" | |||

|align="left|"''Super Mario 3D World can be easily summarised — it's a terrifically enjoyable, tight and impeccably structured experience. It recalls the mascot's 3D heritage while providing the perfect starting point for those that prefer 2D platforming, catering to an audience of beginners and skilled veterans alike. Nintendo's also mastered Mario multiplayer for, arguably, the first time; it’s still manic and can be either co-operative or competitive, but there's also a sense of space that allows determined groups to progress coherently. | |||
''This is a definitive 3D Mario experience, successfully finding a middle-ground between the iconic [[Super Mario 64]] and [[Super Mario Galaxy]]. You may not swing Bowser by his tail or run upside down, but it's bursting with creativity nonetheless, while delivering on the craft and skill that defines the Tokyo EAD studio. It's unmissable.''" | |||

|align="left|"''Super Mario 3D World doesn't reinvent the Mario formula. But it is in every way its own game, with a bright, joyful aesthetic that's supported by inspired level design and a cast that matters. It gets the balance right between nostalgic touches and clever new twists, and never once let me down with a boring boss or too-familiar retread. In all my years of playing with the Mario gang, I've never been quite so happy to hurl myself into the unknown, and 3D World delivers challenge, surprise and joy in almost every moment.''" | |||

If done correctly, one can get on top of the [[World Bowser]] entrance pipe by jumping onto the nearby pole first, and then fall to the worlds down below. Additionally, if the player quits the game while they are falling out of bounds, the progress does not save, and when restarting the game, the music of the world the player was in when the glitch was activated plays for a short time.<ref name="SonOfAGlitch"/> | |||

Also, when all of the tiles in said area are lit up, the main theme plays. This is preceded by the "chest opening" sound jingle from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. | ||

Doors have the same design and color. A cover of the character select music from this game plays in the casino slot minigame, as well as in the Coin Bonus areas of the game. [[Rocket]] Ships make an appearance. The two game's stories are also similar, with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad going to another land and saving it from an evil villain in both games. | ||

The death jingle is a cover of that from this game. [[Tank]] levels return from this game. The level [[Coin Express]] is similar in concept to the [[Treasure Ship]] from this game. In American and some European versions of the game, when first visiting a Toad House, the Toad instructs the player, "Pick a box. Its contents will help you on your way," which is a direct quoting from this game's Toad Houses. | ||
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': Chargin' Chucks and Galoombas return, and in the case of the former enemy, use the same sound effects for running and being defeated as in this game. [[Trampoline]]s are green and also use the same sound effect as in this game. The artwork used for the stamp of a Koopa Troopa being knocked out of its shell is based on the artwork for the [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]] from this game. Hitting [[Bowser's Muscle Car]] at the beginning of [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] occasionally causes ''Super Mario World'' sound effects to play. | |||

In [[Shifty Boo Mansion]], the first [[Green Star]] is found by jumping into a painting, similar to how Mario enters paintings in this game and its remake. When the player catches a [[rabbit]], the rabbit gives an item to the player, similar to how the rabbit gives Mario an item right after getting grabbed. The Boos' laughter is recycled from this game. | ||

*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''/''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'': [[Green Star]]s make an appearance, replacing [[Star Medal]]s from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. [[Captain Toad]] returns and the levels where Captain Toad is playable contains the [[Toad Brigade]] theme from the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games. There are secret underground rooms where the player can collect sequences of [[Coin]]s for a limited time and receive a prize if all Coins are collected. Rosalina's special ability is the [[Star Spin]] attack. Rosalina's emblem is a [[Grand Star]]. [[Super Galaxy]], a stage based off of the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games appears, and so do [[Octoombas]], [[Fizzlit]]s, and the [[Comet Observatory]]. If the player jumps on Rosalina when she appears as an NPC at the end of Super Galaxy, the protective bubble from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' appears around her for a moment. The arrangement of the [[Underground Theme]] from ''Super Mario Galaxy'''s [[Flipswitch Galaxy]] returns in the underground levels, itself being based on its ''Super Mario 3D Land'' rendition. "[[Rosalina in the Observatory]] 3" plays in the World Crown map area, while an arrangement of "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy (theme)|Gusty Garden Galaxy]]" can be heard in [[Honeycomb Starway]], [[Honeycomb Skyway]], and [[Champion's Road]]. The final boss themes (and the Meowser defeated fanfare) have portions of the themes for the [[Battlerock Galaxy]], [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], and [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]]. The overworld map of World Star has [[Star Bit]]s in the background. Also, Grumblumps have a similar appearance to [[Rhomp]]s. The Beat Block mechanic returns under the name "Beep Block", and the Beep Block stages return to the "beep-beep-beep-switch" rhythm as in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' with the same tempo as the [[Beat Block Galaxy]] theme as well. There is additionally a level called [[Boss Blitz]]; this is in reference to the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]]. | |||

Assist Play is similar to Boost Mode from the latter game in that the player can stop/hinder enemies with the GamePad, as well as pause stage obstacles like the rolling hills. In [[Snowball Park]], the night-time setting with the background aurora mirrors [[Spinning-Star Sky]]. [[Fire Mario|Fire Toad's]] colors are exactly the same as [[Fire Mario|Fire Yellow Toad's]] colors from these games. | ||
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': The game is the | *''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': The game is the sequel to this title, and thus has some similarities to said game. Many of this game's music is reused or remixed, and a cover of the jazz variation of the main theme plays in [[Super Block Land]]. The snow theme and castle theme return in this game, but they are now orchestrated. The base beat and some tunes of the music in [[Simmering Lava Lake]] is similar to the music that plays in World 8-5 and World 8-Bowser: Part 2 in this game. [[Warp Box]]es, [[Mystery Box]]es, [[Coin Box]]es, [[Peepa]]s, [[Coin Coffer]]s, [[Goomba Tower]]s, [[Stingby|Stingbies]], [[Biddybud]]s, and [[Para-Biddybud]]s all return. The levels in [[World Mushroom (Super Mario 3D World)|World Mushroom]] and [[World Flower (Super Mario 3D World)|World Flower]] are similar to the levels in the [[Special 1|S]][[Special 2|pe]][[Special 3|ci]][[Special 4|al]] [[Special 5|W]][[Special 6|or]][[Special 7|ld]][[Special 8|s]] from this game.

The [[Double Cherry]] appears as an ad in [[Toad Harbor]]. There is a DLC cup named the [[Bell Cup]], which has a course called [[Super Bell Subway]]. Cat Peach also appears as a playable character. | |||
**''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'': The crown mechanic in Battle Mode is similar to the mechanic in multi-player of ''Super Mario 3D World'', where the player with the highest score from one stage wears a crown in the next stage. | |||
*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': The game is a spin-off title based around the [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] levels which originated from ''Super Mario 3D World''. Several elements also return, including music. Super Bell Hill, Shadow-Play Alley, Clear Pipe Cruise, and Conkdor Canyon return as stages in the Wii U version. The ending cutscene of the Wii U version also reveals that ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' is a prequel. | |||
*''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'': Peach and Rosalina's red costumes are based on their [[Fire Mario|Fire forms]] in ''Super Mario 3D World''. | |||
**''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'': Three pieces of music from ''Super Mario 3D World'' (Super Bell Hill, The Great Tower Showdown 2, and Champion Road) can be selected, and the Toad [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|trophy]] refers to Captain Toad's inability to jump. | |||
*''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': Rosalina's [[Mystery Mushroom]] costume reuses several voice clips from ''Super Mario 3D World''.

*''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'': Several sound effects and voice clips from ''Super Mario 3D World'' are reused. When [[RoboBrood]] is defeated, the [[Broodals]] appear as fireworks in the sky similar to when Bowser is defeated in The Great Tower of Bowser Land. Ty-foos and Parabones reappear as enemies, as do Chargin' Chucks with their design from ''Super Mario 3D World''. Captain Toad's design is reused.

*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'': Sprixie Princesses, Cat Peach, and Plessie appear as spirits using their artwork from ''Super Mario 3D World''. Additionally, Boom Boom appears as a spirit using his in-game model from ''Super Mario 3D World''. During Palutena's Guidance for Pirahna Plant, Piranha Creeper is mentioned. | |||
*''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'': A theme based on ''Super Mario 3D World'' can be used, but the actual gameplay is converted to 2D (i.e. {{wp|2.5D}}), but still maintaining some elements of 3D, such as the ability of Cat Mario to climb a wall from the side, and the moves of certain enemies such as [[Meowser]], Charvaargh, and Banzai Bill. Enemies such as [[Ant Trooper]]s and [[Piranha Creeper]]s also appear. Levels from ''Super Mario 3D World'' such as Super Bell Hill, Conkdor Canyon, and [[Gargantuan Grotto]] appear in the background of certain themes in the game. | |||

*''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'': "Captain Toad Goes Forth" is quoted in the track "Strange New World". Toad and Mario travel through a Clear Pipe, which debuts in this game, to reach Peach's Castle. Mario briefly runs like how he does in ''Super Mario 3D World'' after reaching the top of the construction site. Voxel Super Bells can be seen at the front of the antique store. Cat Mario appears during the fight with Donkey Kong. Some trees resemble those from the game. Diamond-patterned blocks from the game appear. At the end of the film, Bowser is shrunken down and put in a jar after his defeat, just like in the end credits of ''Super Mario 3D World''. | |||

Super Mario 3D World is a 3D platformer action game for the Wii U, released in Japan on November 21, 2013, in North America on November 22, 2013, in Brazil on November 26, 2013, in Europe on November 29, 2013, and in Australia on November 30, 2013. It is the seventeenth entry in the Super Mario series,[6] the seventh 3D Super Mario title overall, and the fifth 3D Super Mario title on a home console after Super Mario Galaxy 2. Being the sequel to the 2011 Nintendo 3DS title Super Mario 3D Land, the game builds upon the previous installment, following a similar 3D level-design convention inspired from the 2D platformer titles where players must navigate through a linear-designed level within a time limit to reach a level's Goal Pole. The game's plot centers around Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad having to rescue the Sprixie Princesses, the rulers of the Sprixie Kingdom, from Bowser.
One key aspect introduced in this title is the simultaneous multiplayer: while not the first game in the series to do so, it is the first 3D title in the Super Mario franchise to incorporate up to four players cooperating with each other to reach the goal. Players can select their character from a pool of playable characters prior to starting the game; each of these characters have their own unique playstyle that gives them advantages and disadvantages over other characters. The game makes use of several Wii U exclusive features, such as tapping blocks with the touch screen on the GamePad and blowing into the mic to reveal hidden items and blow away enemies. Various new power-ups are introduced in this title, with the trademark suit being the Cat power-up, which enables characters to perform a melee attack, climb up walls, and leap while midair, as well as the game generally having a cat-based theme.
It included Miiverse integration through collectible stamps that could be used in Miiverse posts, and the Ghost Mii functionality that emulates players replaying levels for other players to view; however, the service was terminated on November 7, 2017, meaning that stamps can be collected, but can no longer be used. Additionally, the Miiverse posts that appeared on the course select screen and when selecting courses are no longer present.
The game introduces a smaller set of levels called Captain Toad's Adventures, which were later reused and expanded into its own standalone title and prequel, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.
An enhanced port called Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury for the Nintendo Switch was released on February 12, 2021.

On an evening in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad come to view and enjoy the fireworks outside of Peach's Castle, when they discover a slanted Clear Pipe along the path. Mario and Luigi fix the Clear Pipe with hammers and wrenches, causing the pipe to eject a large number of items as well as a Sprixie Princess, a fairy-like creature of the Sprixie species. The Green Sprixie Princess begins to explain that Bowser has kidnapped six of her fellow Sprixie Princesses and that she needs their help; however, Bowser himself emerges from the pipe and traps the princess inside a bottle before disappearing back down the pipe with her. Peach, in trying to stop Bowser, falls down the pipe herself, and the others soon follow in order to assist her. The heroes soon end up in the Sprixie Kingdom, where the journey mainly takes place.
After going through six worlds, the group encounter Bowser in World Castle, where he is keeping the Red Sprixie Princess; the only Sprixie Princess whom has not been saved yet. After the group successfully defeats Bowser, the Sprixie Princess is saved. The celebration is cut short, however, when Bowser ambushes them and grabs all seven Sprixie Princesses in a large bottle. With their combined power, he creates World Bowser: a theme park modeled after himself, and escapes to a tower.
The heroes make their way through this world and encounter Bowser again in The Great Tower of Bowser Land. Here, Bowser uses a Super Bell to transform to Meowser and makes duplicates of himself, initiating the final battle. The group manages to defeat Meowser after climbing the tower and rescue all of the Sprixie Princesses. Now safe from Bowser, the princesses thank the heroes as they go through a Clear Pipe back to the Mushroom Kingdom.
Gameplay[edit]
Super Mario 3D World is a linear 3D platform game with gameplay similar to the 2D games. The player must navigate through levels, defeating enemies and collecting power-ups on the way. The player clears a level by reaching the Goal Pole at the end before losing a life or running out of time. The player can store collected power-ups in the item storage, allowing them to be collected by pressing . The player can also collect Green Stars and stamps, which allow the player to unlock certain levels or can be used in Miiverse posts, respectively. Points are earned by collecting items and defeating enemies, and are used to determine the player's high score in a level. The player completes the main game when they clear World Bowser and completes the entire game when all bonus worlds are complete and all Green Stars and stamps are collected.
Multiplayer[edit]
For the first time in a 3D Super Mario title, the game supports up to four-player simultaneous multiplayer, allowing players to control Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, and Rosalina; additional players can drop in at any time by pressing /
, and can drop out by pausing and pressing
on the pause menu, similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U; in this game, however, players can also switch characters before entering a stage. Each character has different abilities, much like they had in Super Mario Bros. 2. The multiplayer works similarly to New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U, in that players can enter a bubble at any time, pick each other up and throw each other, bounce on each others' heads, and so on. Players also share lives when playing in multiplayer, rather than each player having a separate life counter. The game uses a cooperative and competitive multiplayer system; each player works together to get to the end of the stage, but is ranked based on points earned out of the total score at the end. The player that scores the most points for one stage receives a crown, which can be stolen by the other players and gives the player wearing it at the end of the stage a score bonus.
In addition to being the default player one controller, the can be used at any point during gameplay (multiplayer or not) to interact with the environment, allowing players to stun enemies, momentarily reveal hidden objects (both in levels and on the map), hit blocks, stop moving platforms, and various other functions, similar to the Co-Star Luma from Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Boost Mode from New Super Mario Bros. U. If the player rubs an enemy with the touch screen, a coin is spawned. The
can also be used to control the camera during gameplay by pressing the button on the bottom corner of the GamePad screen and tilting the controller, in what is known as Free Camera Mode. It works in a similar fashion to the camera from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. The GamePad can also be used for Off-TV Play at any point.
Nintendo Network[edit]
Super Mario 3D World features Nintendo Network support in the form of Miiverse integration and Ghost Miis. These features are first enabled on a given save file after progressing a bit into the game. With Miiverse, players could make a post at any point on the World Map or after completing a stage by tapping the "Post" icon; other players' posts could also be viewed on the World Map by walking up to their Miis and pressing /
, or on the top of the stage results screen. Ghost Miis are created after the player clears a course without losing a life, and they perfectly recreate the player's movements throughout the course, automatically distributing them to other players. Players who receive the data can play through an already cleared course with three Ghost Mii characters. While traveling through a course, the Ghost Mii characters occasionally carry gifts behind them that when caught can contain various items. The Nintendo Network settings for this title can be changed at any point by pausing the game and selecting the Nintendo Network icon button.
Returning elements[edit]
Super Mario 3D World plays very similarly to Super Mario 3D Land, being a 3D platformer with gameplay similar to the 2D games. This game retains its predecessor's similarity to Super Mario Bros. 3 (with colorful blocks, the Super Leaf, Spikes, and the Lose a Life theme returning from that game); many elements from Super Mario World return as well, such as Chargin' Chucks, unshelled Koopas, and Galoombas (the Goombas of that game renamed). Stages are once again open yet linear, have a time limit, and end by grabbing the classic Goal Pole at the end. Green Stars return from the Super Mario Galaxy games, taking the role of the Star Medals from Super Mario 3D Land. There are also various stamps that the player can find. There is one in each level and they can be used in Miiverse posts. The game also seems to be slightly more puzzle-focused than its predecessors. The path from the start of the level to the goal is no longer a straight shot, and the players would often have to use certain power-ups and items in order to find the way ahead. Additionally, the game also features a score system, the first time one has appeared in a 3D Super Mario game.
![Screenshot of Super Mario 3D World.](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/f/f5/SpikesLostCity.png/280px-SpikesLostCity.png)
Almost every power-up and item from Super Mario 3D Land returns (except the Statue Leaf and P-Wing). The Mega Mushroom from New Super Mario Bros. also makes an appearance. There are also several new power-ups and suits; The most prominent of the new power-ups is the Super Bell, a power-up that grants the player a Cat Suit, allowing them to lunge at and claw enemies and climb up walls.
Luigi Bros.[edit]
- Main article: Luigi Bros.
![Screenshot of the title screen of Luigi Bros., a port of Mario Bros.](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/f/fb/SM3DW_Luigi_Bros_Title_Screen.jpg/220px-SM3DW_Luigi_Bros_Title_Screen.jpg)
As part of the Year of Luigi celebration, also included is another game that can be accessed from the title screen after beating the main game once (or immediately if New Super Luigi U save data is present). The game, titled Luigi Bros., is a modified ROM of Mario Bros., but with Luigi with his modern colors as the first player and the original Luigi as the second player. The game can be accessed by touching the Luigi button found in the bottom-left corner of the screen. As it is a modification of the original NES game, it makes use of the Virtual Console interface and allows the use of save/restore points. Also, similar to New Super Luigi U, Pixel Luigis can be found throughout the game.

Worlds[edit]
- Main article: World
The game features a large world map, consisting of eight worlds with four unlockable bonus worlds, with a total of 116 courses (including Sprixie Houses) across all worlds. Each world is connected by Clear Pipes. Unlike previous games, where players follow a fixed path through the maps, the map here can be freely roamed with full control of the characters, except with a limited jump. Each world features a set of levels along with Enemy Battles, Toad Houses, Sprixie Houses, Lucky Houses, and either Mystery Houses or a puzzle-focused series of levels called Captain Toad's Adventures with Captain Toad playable. The maps also contain items such as coins and 1-Up Mushrooms and other secrets.
When the player finishes a course with all Green Stars, the ball ornament on the Goal Pole is replaced with a Green Star, which can even become gold when the stage is cleared with all five characters, the stamp from that stage is collected (if any), and at least one character touches the top of the flag at the end of the stage. Upon reaching World Crown, the player can also see which stage has been cleared with which characters on the Map Progression screen or when approaching a stage. When all the stages in a world have been cleared with every character, a paw print mark is shown on the upper-right corner of the Map Progression screen.
Level names with a Green Star icon appended to them are locked upon discovery, and require the player to have the listed number of Green Stars to unlock and play the level.

Luigi sightings[edit]
![Luigi sighting in A Beam in the Dark in Super Mario 3D World.](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/1/17/SM3DW_Bowser-6_Luigi.jpg/280px-SM3DW_Bowser-6_Luigi.jpg)
- Main article: List of Luigi sightings in Super Mario 3D World
Like with New Super Luigi U, Super Mario 3D World commemorates the Year of Luigi by featuring Pixel Luigis hidden in various parts of the game. However, they are not just restricted to levels, with some appearing in the worlds and elsewhere.
Staff[edit]
- Main article: List of Super Mario 3D World staff
The game producer is Yoshiaki Koizumi, and the game was directed by Koichi Hayashida and Kenta Motokura. This game marks Laura Faye Smith's debut as the current voice actress of Rosalina. General game production is done by Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto.
Development[edit]
Super Mario 3D World was first mentioned during the January 2013 Nintendo Direct alongside Mario Kart 8, in which it was announced that a new 3D Super Mario platformer was being developed by the same team behind Super Mario Galaxy.[14][15] It was later properly announced in the June 11, 2013 Nintendo Direct during E3 2013, when its release window was also revealed.
Plans for Super Mario 3D World picked up following the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2. Like with Super Mario 3D Land, the developers intended to bridge the gap between 2D and 3D to appease fans of the New Super Mario Bros. games that did not care for the 3D installments.[16]
According to Koichi Hayashida, Peach was originally not planned to be playable before Yoshiaki Koizumi suggested to the development team that she should be included in the playable roster.[17] Super Mario 3D World ended up being the first 3D Super Mario platformer in which Princess Peach is playable and not kidnapped. Similarly, Rosalina was added into the game in response to her rise in popularity among fans.[18]
According to game director Kenta Motokura, the game went through numerous concepts suggested by over one hundred staff members via sticky notes that were extensively playtested, such as the Mystery Houses and The Adventures of Captain Toad levels. The Cat form was one of the earliest ideas that passed development, with the intention of creating a method of directly attacking enemies and assisting novice players in clearing obstacles. The Double Cherry, on the other hand, was conceived entirely by accident when a staff member inadvertently loaded two identical character models into a test level, which was well-received by the developers and thus hurriedly added into the final game.[16]
Reception[edit]
Critical reception[edit]
Super Mario 3D World received widespread critical acclaim and has been praised for its gameplay, visuals, music, level design, the Cat form's usefulness, and its improved 4-player co-op compared to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. However, it has been criticized for camera issues and co-op control issues.[19] The game currently has a score of 93 on Metacritic based on 83 reviews,[20] a score of 92.56% on GameRankings based on 54 reviews,[21] and an average score of 93 and recommendation score of 96% on OpenCritic based on 74 reviews.[22]
Mark Walton, reviewing for GameSpot, called the game an "exceptional craft" with "painstaking focus on the minute details that are integral to making it feel special."[23] He also added that "[every one of the game's levels] is a golden nugget of heavenly platforming joy, where ideas are rarely repeated--and if they are, they're given such a twist as to make them feel new again." Jose Otero of IGN gave the game a 9.6 out of 10, commenting that, "After 28 years of making marvelous Super Mario platform games, you'd think Nintendo would run out of ideas. But Super Mario 3D World defies such logic and creativity sets itself apart-in good ways-from its outstanding recent predecessors."[24] Chris Carter, reviewing for Destructoid, called it one of the greatest Super Mario games ever made and gave it a 10 out of 10, stating, "Why is 3D World so good? Because it's essentially a complete refinement of everything that was great about 3D Land, a game that I happen to think is criminally underrated. 3D World is pretty much a joy ride from start to finish--and that "start" is as quick as ever."[25] Adam Cook from God is a Geek scored the game as a 100, saying, "Unimpeded creativity drips from every moment, forcing an awed expression from the most cynical of mouths. Decades old ideas are renewed with such ease and simplicity that it's almost unnerving. I've fought Bowser more times than I can even remember, yet the first encounter somehow feels fresh. There's always a princess, there's always another castle, Bowser is still involved (this time he’s stolen Sprixies and locked them in jars) – it’s the design and execution of it all that makes it so special."[26]

---|---|---|---|
Reviewer, Publication | Score | Comment | |
Jose Otero, IGN | 9.6/10 | "Super Mario Galaxy 2 successfully iterated on one of the most inventive platformers of the last console generation. Super Mario 3D World takes slightly smaller steps in the grand scheme of the platformer genre, but it fulfills the promise of a multiplayer Mario much better than anything that the Japanese game maker has done before. Super Mario 3D World is marvelous, and its constant variety and fantastic light-hearted co-op play proves that Nintendo still knows exactly how to tweak the Mario formula in fun ways." | |
Mark Walton, GameSpot | 9/10 | "Super Mario 3D World is a game of exceptional craft, of painstaking focus on the minute details that are integral to making it feel special. The pace at which you're thrown from one ingenious concept to the next as perspectives, tempos, and mechanics change would choke a lesser game, but here it's done with a seamlessness that makes such rapid inventiveness look easy. This is a game where every level is a golden nugget of heavenly platforming joy, where ideas are rarely repeated--and if they are, they're given such a twist as to make them feel new again." | |
Thomas Whitehead, Nintendo Life | 10/10 | "Super Mario 3D World can be easily summarised — it's a terrifically enjoyable, tight and impeccably structured experience. It recalls the mascot's 3D heritage while providing the perfect starting point for those that prefer 2D platforming, catering to an audience of beginners and skilled veterans alike. Nintendo's also mastered Mario multiplayer for, arguably, the first time; it’s still manic and can be either co-operative or competitive, but there's also a sense of space that allows determined groups to progress coherently.
This is a definitive 3D Mario experience, successfully finding a middle-ground between the iconic Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. You may not swing Bowser by his tail or run upside down, but it's bursting with creativity nonetheless, while delivering on the craft and skill that defines the Tokyo EAD studio. It's unmissable." | |
Danielle Riendeau, Polygon | 90/100 | "Super Mario 3D World doesn't reinvent the Mario formula. But it is in every way its own game, with a bright, joyful aesthetic that's supported by inspired level design and a cast that matters. It gets the balance right between nostalgic touches and clever new twists, and never once let me down with a boring boss or too-familiar retread. In all my years of playing with the Mario gang, I've never been quite so happy to hurl myself into the unknown, and 3D World delivers challenge, surprise and joy in almost every moment." | |
Christian Donlan, Eurogamer | 10/10 (Essential) | "Compact by the standards of the Galaxy adventures but still loaded with bountiful secrets, beneath the warm familiarity of 3D World lies one of the strangest Mario games in years - or at least one of the most random in its influences and its moment-to-moment indulgences. And that's a very, very good thing." | |
Chris Carter, Destructoid | 10/10 | "It was then that I realized that Super Mario 3D World had achieved a level of platforming design that's close to perfection, and there was almost never a moment where I didn't have a smile on my face. This is the unequivocally the best Mario game since Galaxy 2, and it shows up anything the "New" series has ever done, and then some." | |

Sales[edit]
As of March 1, 2020, Super Mario 3D World is the second-best selling game for the Wii U,[27] selling 5.83 million units worldwide. As of September 30, 2021, it had sold 5.88 million units worldwide.[28]
Promotion[edit]
A week prior to the game's launch in North America, employees at GameStop were given cat ears to wear. The cat ears came in yellow, green, blue, and pink, matching the default playable characters' cat form colors.[29] Those who pre-ordered the game at a GAME location received a keychain of Mario in his cat form and a cat sleeve as a bonus.[30] On the NintendoWiiUUK YouTube channel, a shadow puppet short based on the game was uploaded.[31] It featured the talent of hand shadow expert Drew Colby and was specifically inspired by Shadow Play Alley. The Play Nintendo website features a trivia game based on power-ups from Super Mario 3D World.
Original soundtrack[edit]
- Main article: Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack
The game's official original soundtrack, "Super Mario 3D World Original Sound Track" has been released to Club Nintendo members in Japan, Europe, and Australia, and has been performed by the Mario 3D World Big Band.
Glitches[edit]
- Main article: List of Super Mario 3D World glitches
Snowball slide glitch[edit]
If Small Toad Long Jumps into a Snowball, he sits down and slides right while holding the Snowball. He is unable to jump and continues gaining momentum while moving. This glitch can be canceled by letting go of the Snowball.[32]
World Map out of bounds glitch[edit]
If done correctly, one can get on top of the World Bowser entrance pipe by jumping onto the nearby pole first, and then fall to the worlds down below. Additionally, if the player quits the game while they are falling out of bounds, the progress does not save, and when restarting the game, the music of the world the player was in when the glitch was activated plays for a short time.[32]
Pre-release and unused content[edit]
Early concept artwork reveals that Cat characters were going to have five fingers, and that Princess Peach's Cat Suit was going to incorporate her brooch. The levels shown off in the E3 demo also have different world and number placements than the final game. Additionally, several sound clips were changed to brand new ones when they were reused ones from previous games in the demo, and several pieces of music were changed to being orchestrated in the final product.

References to other games[edit]
- Mario Bros.: There is a bonus game starring Luigi available on the title screen, called Luigi Bros. It is played similarly to this game, except both playable characters are Luigi. Also, the big POW Block on the very top of The Great Tower of Bowser Land must be hit multiple times, getting flatter every time it's hit, just like it does in Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros.: Some levels have tiles that resemble the ground tiles from this game. The main theme from Super Mario Bros. is covered for bonus areas and Coin Heavens (whose theme comes from Super Mario 3D Land). A Pixel Luigi sprite from this game can be seen swimming in the background in Bowser's Highway Showdown.[33] Additionally, Beep Block Skyway has a Pixel Luigi, Coin, and Super Mushroom sprites moving along the walls of the stage. Likewise, all of the Luigi sightings are based on his sprite from this game. In addition, the bonus area in Bob-ombs Below is based on Mario's 8-bit sprite from the game. After Bowser gets defeated in his regular boss battles, the bridge beneath him collapses, much like the castle bosses from this game.
- The Legend of Zelda series: Link's 8-bit sprite from the original The Legend of Zelda can be found in the secret area of Rainbow Run. Also, when all of the tiles in said area are lit up, the main theme plays. This is preceded by the "chest opening" sound jingle from Ocarina of Time.
- Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic: The player is required to beat all levels with all of the characters (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Rosalina, the last one being a secret character) in order to unlock all the stamps and all five profile stars, mirroring how it was required that all characters in the game beat all the levels to unlock the true ending.
- Super Mario Bros. 2: Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad are playable characters. The Mario Bros. and the Princess's abilities are based off of theirs from this game, as well as Toad's speed advantage. In addition, Toad having blue spots is possibly a reference to Toad in the original NES version of this game, in which his sprite appears blue. Doors have the same design and color. A cover of the character select music from this game plays in the casino slot minigame, as well as in the Coin Bonus areas of the game. Rocket Ships make an appearance. The two game's stories are also similar, with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad going to another land and saving it from an evil villain in both games.
- Super Mario Bros. 3: Like its predecessor, Super Mario 3D World shares some similarities to this game. The death jingle is a cover of that from this game. Tank levels return from this game. The level Coin Express is similar in concept to the Treasure Ship from this game. In American and some European versions of the game, when first visiting a Toad House, the Toad instructs the player, "Pick a box. Its contents will help you on your way," which is a direct quoting from this game's Toad Houses.
- Super Mario World: Chargin' Chucks and Galoombas return, and in the case of the former enemy, use the same sound effects for running and being defeated as in this game. Trampolines are green and also use the same sound effect as in this game. The artwork used for the stamp of a Koopa Troopa being knocked out of its shell is based on the artwork for the unshelled Koopa from this game. Hitting Bowser's Muscle Car at the beginning of The Great Tower of Bowser Land occasionally causes Super Mario World sound effects to play.
- Super Mario Kart: The level Mount Must Dash contains Dash Panels, asphalt, and blocks that reference the Mario Circuit courses from this game. Also, the music is a cover of that heard in the Mario Circuit courses from that game as well.
- Mario Paint: The Cat Goombas make a similar meow to the cat notes from this game.[34]
- Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS: In levels when players are riding Plessie, the music that plays is a cover of the one that plays in Tick Tock Clock, Rainbow Ride, and The Princess's Secret Slide from this game. In Shifty Boo Mansion, the first Green Star is found by jumping into a painting, similar to how Mario enters paintings in this game and its remake. When the player catches a rabbit, the rabbit gives an item to the player, similar to how the rabbit gives Mario an item right after getting grabbed. The Boos' laughter is recycled from this game.
- Super Smash Bros. Melee/Super Smash Bros. Brawl: There are two Mystery Houses named Mystery House Melee in World 2 and the one in the later World Mushroom named Mystery House Brawl. Their objectives are to defeat all enemies to advance and go forth, referencing the primary objective of both games.
- Super Mario Sunshine: Characters can do a spin jump similar to the one in this game.
- New Super Mario Bros. series: Level names ending with letters reappear.
- New Super Mario Bros.: The player can jump on Koopa Troopas to steal their shells and ride in them, similar to the Blue Shell power-up. The artwork used for the stamp of Fire Mario throwing a fireball is based on the artwork for Fire Mario from this game.
- Super Mario Galaxy/Super Mario Galaxy 2: Green Stars make an appearance, replacing Star Medals from Super Mario 3D Land. Captain Toad returns and the levels where Captain Toad is playable contains the Toad Brigade theme from the Super Mario Galaxy games. There are secret underground rooms where the player can collect sequences of Coins for a limited time and receive a prize if all Coins are collected. Rosalina's special ability is the Star Spin attack. Rosalina's emblem is a Grand Star. Super Galaxy, a stage based off of the Super Mario Galaxy games appears, and so do Octoombas, Fizzlits, and the Comet Observatory. If the player jumps on Rosalina when she appears as an NPC at the end of Super Galaxy, the protective bubble from Super Mario Galaxy appears around her for a moment. The arrangement of the Underground Theme from Super Mario Galaxy's Flipswitch Galaxy returns in the underground levels, itself being based on its Super Mario 3D Land rendition. "Rosalina in the Observatory 3" plays in the World Crown map area, while an arrangement of "Gusty Garden Galaxy" can be heard in Honeycomb Starway, Honeycomb Skyway, and Champion's Road. The final boss themes (and the Meowser defeated fanfare) have portions of the themes for the Battlerock Galaxy, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, and Bowser's Galaxy Generator. The overworld map of World Star has Star Bits in the background. Also, Grumblumps have a similar appearance to Rhomps. The Beat Block mechanic returns under the name "Beep Block", and the Beep Block stages return to the "beep-beep-beep-switch" rhythm as in Super Mario Galaxy 2 with the same tempo as the Beat Block Galaxy theme as well. There is additionally a level called Boss Blitz; this is in reference to the Boss Blitz Galaxy.
- Mario Kart Wii: When using a Mega Mushroom, the characters have slightly lower-pitched voices.
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii/New Super Mario Bros. U: The abilities to do a simultaneous Ground Pound with multiple players, pick up other players, and place their character in a bubble make a return. Assist Play is similar to Boost Mode from the latter game in that the player can stop/hinder enemies with the GamePad, as well as pause stage obstacles like the rolling hills. In Snowball Park, the night-time setting with the background aurora mirrors Spinning-Star Sky. Fire Toad's colors are exactly the same as Fire Yellow Toad's colors from these games.
- Super Mario 3D Land: The game is the sequel to this title, and thus has some similarities to said game. Many of this game's music is reused or remixed, and a cover of the jazz variation of the main theme plays in Super Block Land. The snow theme and castle theme return in this game, but they are now orchestrated. The base beat and some tunes of the music in Simmering Lava Lake is similar to the music that plays in World 8-5 and World 8-Bowser: Part 2 in this game. Warp Boxes, Mystery Boxes, Coin Boxes, Peepas, Coin Coffers, Goomba Towers, Stingbies, Biddybuds, and Para-Biddybuds all return. The levels in World Mushroom and World Flower are similar to the levels in the Special Worlds from this game. When Mario enters a castle, he walks through a gate with Bowser's face above it, eyes flashing upon entry, just like in this game.
- New Super Mario Bros. 2: Coin-producing Gold Shells and Red POW Blocks return.
References in later media[edit]
- Mario Kart 8: The Piranha Plant returns as an item. Stamp images are reused in N64 Rainbow Road's fireworks. The Double Cherry appears as an ad in Toad Harbor. There is a DLC cup named the Bell Cup, which has a course called Super Bell Subway. Cat Peach also appears as a playable character.
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: The crown mechanic in Battle Mode is similar to the mechanic in multi-player of Super Mario 3D World, where the player with the highest score from one stage wears a crown in the next stage.
- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: The game is a spin-off title based around the Captain Toad's Adventures levels which originated from Super Mario 3D World. Several elements also return, including music. Super Bell Hill, Shadow-Play Alley, Clear Pipe Cruise, and Conkdor Canyon return as stages in the Wii U version. The ending cutscene of the Wii U version also reveals that Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a prequel.
- Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U: Peach and Rosalina's red costumes are based on their Fire forms in Super Mario 3D World.
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: Three pieces of music from Super Mario 3D World (Super Bell Hill, The Great Tower Showdown 2, and Champion Road) can be selected, and the Toad trophy refers to Captain Toad's inability to jump.
- Super Mario Maker: Rosalina's Mystery Mushroom costume reuses several voice clips from Super Mario 3D World. Cat Mario and Cat Peach appear as Mystery Mushroom costumes, with their voice clips from Super Mario 3D World playing when jumping, and the "course clear" and "lose a life" jingles are reused.
- Super Mario Odyssey: Several sound effects and voice clips from Super Mario 3D World are reused. When RoboBrood is defeated, the Broodals appear as fireworks in the sky similar to when Bowser is defeated in The Great Tower of Bowser Land. Ty-foos and Parabones reappear as enemies, as do Chargin' Chucks with their design from Super Mario 3D World. Captain Toad's design is reused. The sprites of Cat Mario and Cat Peach from Super Mario Maker appear in various kingdoms.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Sprixie Princesses, Cat Peach, and Plessie appear as spirits using their artwork from Super Mario 3D World. Additionally, Boom Boom appears as a spirit using his in-game model from Super Mario 3D World. During Palutena's Guidance for Pirahna Plant, Piranha Creeper is mentioned.
- Super Mario Maker 2: A theme based on Super Mario 3D World can be used, but the actual gameplay is converted to 2D (i.e. 2.5D), but still maintaining some elements of 3D, such as the ability of Cat Mario to climb a wall from the side, and the moves of certain enemies such as Meowser, Charvaargh, and Banzai Bill. Enemies such as Ant Troopers and Piranha Creepers also appear. Levels from Super Mario 3D World such as Super Bell Hill, Conkdor Canyon, and Gargantuan Grotto appear in the background of certain themes in the game.
- Dr. Mario World: An Ant Trooper and a Conkdor appear as assistants. The fire forms of Peach and Rosalina appear as playable doctors.
- Mario Kart Tour: The artwork for the Double Cherry is reused for the Tropical Grocery badge. Fire Rosalina, Tanooki Rosalina, and Meowser appear as drivers in this game. Cat Peach returns in this game, while the cat forms for Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Rosalina also appear. The Super Bell also appears as a special item in this game.
- Paper Mario: The Origami King: Luigi's running pose and Peach's floating pose in the ending are based on their respective animations from Super Mario 3D World.
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie: "Captain Toad Goes Forth" is quoted in the track "Strange New World". Toad and Mario travel through a Clear Pipe, which debuts in this game, to reach Peach's Castle. Mario briefly runs like how he does in Super Mario 3D World after reaching the top of the construction site. Voxel Super Bells can be seen at the front of the antique store. Cat Mario appears during the fight with Donkey Kong. Some trees resemble those from the game. Diamond-patterned blocks from the game appear. At the end of the film, Bowser is shrunken down and put in a jar after his defeat, just like in the end credits of Super Mario 3D World.
